I was gonna buy one but the website was such a pig to find one that was just

You should easily manage it.  If you don't want a particular screen or a
huge disk, or loads of RAM, there are a good few on the Dell site for less
than that.  You can get a midrange machine with a decent display, 1Gb RAM
and 80Gb disk for just under 600 quid inc vat and shipping.  They'll add 175
quid or something for 3 years onsite warranty but you can drop that back to
a year to save it.

I'd guess that pretty much anything that you can buy will run it to some
extent.  Rick has had some interesting experiences with Vista.
